SAVED HIS CHILD.
But Almost Lost His Own Life in
Doing 1t.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The heroism of
John Verbanck, Polander residing at
No. 3SS North Sangamon street,in saving
his infant child from certain death
nearly cost him his own life yesterday
evening. His eighteen-months-old babe
had toddled down to the Northwestern
railroad track near the house and, I'M
seen by its mother, sat down between
the rails to play. The shrill Shrek from
an approaching switch engine attracted
the attention of the father, who was at
work i'll the yard, and glancing up he
was Mortified to see his child sitting on
the track and calmly watching the
swiftly approaching locomotive. After
the first instant of mute terror the father
rushed toward the track, and throwing
himself directly in front of the engine,
seized the child in both hands and threw
its little form safely to one side Of the
track. He had nc time to save himself,
but was caught by one of the wheels
and thrown prostrate across the rail.
His left leg was horribly mangled, and
it was afterwards necessary to alnputate
it. He also received bad injuries about
the hips and head. Nerbanck died to-
night.

CROP CONDITIONS.
The Drouth Having a Serious
Effect in Places.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The following is
the weekly crop summary printed by
the Farmers Review: Our reports for
The past week show that while some
localities were favored with seasonable
rams, others, and the greater number,
are needing rain, and that in its con-
tlltied absence crops will suffer Seri-
OuSly. Reports on the condition of
winter wheat continue fairly favorable.
fourteen counties in Illinois report an
average condition of so per cent. In
Indiana, Clay, La Porte and Crawford
counties report the condition at 10 per
cent, Hendricks, st. Joseph and Parke
as good, Ohio fair and Noble as poor.
In ONO the average conditions in
SIX counties reporting by percentage is
% per cent. Brown county reports con-
dltlon fair to good and Clinton good. In
Alcnlgan SIX counties report an average
condition OF 80 per cent, and MOntcalm
reports above the average. From Ken
lucky, Muellenberg, Nelson and Trim
Dle counties report the condition at
lo0 per cent, Whitney county 80 per
cent, Crlttenden and Lawrence fair,
and Webster good. From seven coun-
ties III Missouri it is reported in an aver
age condition of los per cent. three re-
port good, and one below the average.
rIoii hallSaS eight counties report an
average condition of 20 per cent, Chau-
tauqua and Graham report condition
good, Ness reports poor, and Cher
okee damaged by chinch bugs. Reports
from the winter wheat counties in Wis
consln indicate condition of IS to so
per cent. The spring wheat growing
territory gives the following figures:
Ten Iowa counties report an average
condltlon OF 80 per cent, two report
good, one above the average and one be-
low. From Minnesota nine counties re-
port the condition fair to good Seven
counties in Dakota report a full average
condition. and the same is true of six
counties reporting from Nebraska.
While the showing ON the whole is
fairly good for the time the reports were
forwarded, it remains a fact that con-
tlnued dry weather will materially re-
duce these percentages of condition.
Throughout almost the entire territory
covered by our reports the meadows
and pastures are reported as needing

THREE DOG FIGHTS.
A Brother of Irish Jack Turns

Two hundred and fifty sports from
Minneapolis and st. Paul witnessed
three dog fights yesterday morning,
which came Off at d secluded spot ''down

the dogs were well handled, and the
crowd WAS very orderly. Tile first fight
was to the finish betweeil 10 Jo a forty
pound Scotch terrier owned by George
Scott. and Tug Wilson, ali English ter
rier. weighing forty.four pounds, owned
by Billy Morgan. The fig:.t lasted nine
teen minutes and was giscn to 10 10 by
the referee because Tug left the pit
first, although the latter appeared 10 be
the better dog. There was some kicking
over the decision, although it Vas
according 10 rule. The next battle was
for 800 side between Pilot. owned by
4. IIollenbeck, and Irish jake, Il brother
of Irish Jack, owned by A. B. Cushing.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Detroit's Method OF Ball Playing
---Chicago's Coup D'Etat.

---tnicoSO'S = SOup ID ESat.
In the two weeks and Il half that the
National league teams have been play
ing several things have came to light
which are interesting. The Detroit
club, which has lead of four games
over Boston, is daily demonstrating that
it is not essential that a club have the
best pitchers to win victories. Neither
GetZcin nor Weidman is crack twirler,
but the Wolverines go right on winning
almost every game they piay-in fact,
they have lost but twice this season,
though they have been playing since
about the list of March. The team APP
peared five times in st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and, though its pitchers were no
enigma for the Twin City willow WELD
erS, victory always perched upon the
Michigan standard. The secret of the
success of the Detroit club is found in its
heavy batting and magnificent fielding.
When at bat BrOutherS and
Dunlap and Richardson and White and
Thompson hammer out the runs, and i'll
the field White and Rowe and Dunlap
are stone wall through which no ball
can pass that is not at least nine feet
above the ground, and those that fly too
high for the inVincble three are i'll i'm
minent danger of being captured by the
supplementary inyincibleS, Richardson,
HanlOn and Thompson. The Detroit
theory is, Make them hit it, and give
the field chance to show what it is
made Of" and the Wolverines are pretty
sure to fight their way to victory on
this line. Detroit has no clubs to fear
except those of Boston and Philadel-
phia, and the prospects are that these
will simply make
A PRETTY RACE
for second place, leaving Detroit well
i'll the lead. New York and Pittsburg
seem to be the next strongest aggrega-
tiOnS, and the latter is likely to prove
the leader. Chicago will doubtless hold
about its present position, the chances
that it will 60 lower being better than
that it will rise. The patrons of the
game are generally highly elated over
this big tumble of the champions. The
management of the team sold Kelly,
Mccormick, Gore and Dalrymple like so
many slaves for a large amount of
money, and then, on being criticised by
the newspapers, turned about and
stabbed two of these men in the back by
saying they were released because Of
their dissipation. The public knows
why the Chicago players were re-
leased, and this cry of intemperance
is contemplate attempt to turn the
attention of indignant lovers of the Ma
tional game from the real motives of the
Chicago management. The celebrated
White Stockings are but semblance of
their former selves. They have one
pitcher, ClarksOn, and Anson, William
son, Burns and Sunday are still parts of
the team, but these men cannot win
games alone. Perhaps there is more
money in selling players than in play

ness. The clubs have played nearly all
the games scheduled, and the record is

KNOCKED sENsELEss.
A Desperate Fight Between Hynes
ana Neary.


Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, May ia rattling prize
fight took place early this morning on
the shores of the Hudson, about fifty
miles from this city, in the presence of
135 spectators. The fight was for a
purse of $500, and the participants were
two celebrated feather-weights. Martin
of Philadelphia, and Jake HyneS. of
HaverStraw. These men have fought
several battles, and each claims that
he was never defeated. They
wore skin gloves and fought to finish,
under Marquis of Queensberry rules.
The betting was very brisk, Hynes being
the favorite at 500 to $50, this being very
quickly taken up by Neary'S admirers,
who were ready to back him for any
amount. Hynes was in the very prime
of condition, but Neary was far from
being in good form, having only had
about three or four hours notice
that he was expected to fight.
The men faced each other, and then be-
gar one of the most desperate and saw
age battles that has been witnessed in
many years. The science displayed by
each was such as to delight the many
old time sports present, while such
heavy hitting for men of their weight
was surprise to all. The whole fight
proved the men to be two of the clever
est in the country. The fight only lasted
two rounds, when Hynes was Knocked
out. A blow on the jugular vein
knocked him SenSelesS, and it was ten
minutes before he recovered so as to
